Langhe Rossese Bianco

The Rossese Bianco grape was once widespread in the regions of Liguria and Piedmont but they slowly began to disappear.

A small quantity remains in Monforte d’Alba, where its presence has been certified for many years on the list of authorized grapes in Piedmont in the national registry of wine grape varieties.
